I saw Whirr mentioned earlier in this thread.. I just listened to this album for the first time today and it's

Here's a really good 4 track EP I just came across:

First track sounds like Black Sabbath's self-titled debut album if it were dream pop/shoegaze instead. Second track reminds of that really good disco/shoegaze group Soundpool I posted awhile ago.

Cat Hoch - "Look What You Found" (Soundcloud playlist)

Glad I found those guys a couple of years ago:

No vocals, intense drumming, lots of delay and dark atmosphere. Those who like Black Metal will love

Some discoveries of mine to share!


#1 this song sounds exactly like a 80-90s tv comedy intro theme, the kind with synths and guitar solos


These guys have been putting out the best up-tempo noise in recent years



Best shoegaze chorus I've heard in a very long time



Relaxed, night-time friendly

That Bloody Knives song is killer. Absolutely love the ending.

Belong-Common Era. One of my absolute favorites, regardless of genre. Videos are probably NSFW.

Cool tracks Adam, especially that Bloody Knives song!
Thanks for posting those.

 

[AdamMaz]

...by popular demand then, more Bloody Knives!

Still to this day one of the absolute most kick ass songs I have ever heard! The kind of jam you listen to on repeat until you're done getting your fix!

A few bands/songs that I really like but never fell into a specific genre.










I just kind of called this skate/BMX video music because that is how I heard these songs.

 

[AdamMaz]

That Unsane song... curiously the only instance I have ever heard a Shoegaze/Grunge hybrid... very weird considering the historical relation between the two genres.

New Hammock song, and new album coming!

 

[Floppystrings]

A few bands/songs that I really like but never fell into a specific genre.

About the band Tad, this song is on the same album. It sounds like a completely different band, but that was common around that time.

 

[AdamMaz]

This track is sonically gorgeous, reminds me of Genesis. Really takes off at a minute in with the entrance of the xylophone (Lark's Tongue in Aspic anyone?!)

 

[AdamMaz]

I would describe this more as 80s Synth/Post-Punk, but it does dabble in Dream Pop/Shoegaze. Cathartic, yet nostalgic.

 

[AdamMaz]

With all the love for Bloody Knives, I don't think I've ever shared Singapore Sling.

The album opener on Hammock's new LP is pretty damn good. Fantastic album so far, maybe even a AOTY contender...

 

[Cnev]

Yeah, it's pretty good. Devil Wind is my favorite track so far. Departure songs is still my favorite of theirs, though.
